Media blaming the dems? Have we morphed into an alternate universe?
The media is not unanimous. Shepard Smith and Jim Acosta tried to blame the GOP because it "has all 3 branches of government." Mulvaney explained that it takes 60 votes in the senate.

Fox needs to fire that dunce Shepard Smith. He is an embarrassment to the network.

Shepard is a screaming, prancing Queen. Also, last time I checked, isn’t the Judicial branch supposed to be technically non partisan? How does the GOP control that?

If they didn’t fire him during Hurricane Katrina when he said there was cannibalism among the survivors in the Super Dome, they’ll never fire him. He’s the token fairy.

“Media blaming the dems? Have we morphed into an alternate universe? “

Nope, Friday news dump. No one will read it and they can report that they were fair. Of course come Monday it will be the Republicans fault and yesterday’s news goes right into the memory hole.

Yes, but one fact might pierce even the thickest of skulls: Almost all of the Republicans voted to keep the government running and not to cut off pay to the military, and almost all of the Democrats voted to “shut down” the government and shut off pay to active military personnel. Then there’s the issue of prioritizing illegals over citizens and so forth.

Logic has never prevented the Republicans from being blamed for shutdowns in the past?

I knew those two were rotten dems, but I had no idea they were that stupid.

Also to mention that article on WAPO about a person now supporting trump, but if them the NYT, and AP are saying things like this, then they realize something is going on and for a certain side its not good.

I am surprised!

The Dems are willing to sacrifice this country at the altar of illegal aliens. Dems are truly sick.

One long time Dem said she can never vote for Democrats again. But most might be still vote Dems.

"...allowing the government to shutdown..."

Geez, I hate illiteracy. Especially among professional scribblers.

Shutdown - noun

Shut down - verb

They must think that the government shut down will be popular with the voters... Otherwise, they would be blaming Trump.

Obviously, a Government Shutdown is a good thing after all.
